    This just proves that there's no way to stop someone who is determined to end it all. I hope her mother is surrounded by love.

    What makes this death particularly sad is the amount of potential that she had. She could have been the first Black female Supreme Court Justice. Treatment resistant depression is awful.
  • I am so sad to see this. I so wish there could have been a way to help her with this before it got to this point. She was so beautiful and I was shocked to know that reaching 30 puts so much on women to feel they're running out of time in the industry. Man this just mortified me, that too be that beautiful, and sweet but unable to see your true worth to everyone on the outside. Even though I did not know you personally your infectious energy and willingness to help others will always make me grateful I came acrossed your YouTube channel. You were so educational in area's I needed answers to. I wish you peace and ❤️
